hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G this
is the smallest phone offered this year out of the samsung s 20 lineup and the
least expensive but it's not inexpensive this comes in at 999 dollars 128
gigabytes of storage that's the only option right now as far as storage is
concerned there may be some different ones later on now in the United States
it's only available in three colors there are some other colors and some are
really nice the red color I particularly like but it's only available in three
colors in the US cosmic grey cloud blue and cloud pink this is cloud blue now
let's go ahead and unbox it so we'll open it up here and I've never seen one
of these in person so let's take this out and it's definitely smaller than the
ultra we'll take a look at the comparison in size a little bit later
but let me set this aside for now we'll take a look at what's in the box and I
think in the top there's something here so in the top of the box we have a SIM
card removal tool and sometimes in different countries you get different
things with with the phones that you purchase so there's no case and then
you've just got a couple different pieces of information the first one says
this device is packaged with a screen protector if you remove it and want to
use a different one make sure it allows for use of all touchscreen functions or
features and then you've got a quick reference guide and some other
information like warranty now in the box we have a charger and I believe this is
a 25 watt charger so it's a fast charger but it's not the fast or 45 watt but
there's really not too big of a difference between the two I guess from
what I'm seeing online and then we have our power cable and this is USB C 2 USB
C so this is included and then we should have AKG headphones so basically the
same amount of things you get with the s20 ultra so you'll see you've got AKG
headphones and it's USB C here so AKG and then some different ear tips sizes
if you need those let me set this aside and we'll take a closer look at the
phone now the phone overall looks pretty nice the camera
bump is pretty small compared to the other phones this year and the frame is
made of aluminum with a coating over and then you have glass front and back now
on the right hand side of the phone you have your power sleep/wake button along
with a volume button on the top of the phone you have a microphone along with
your SIM card tray and your micro SD card tray we'll take a look at that in a
moment on the left side of the phone we don't have anything at all and then on
the bottom we have a speaker we have USB C and then we have a microphone
there's no headphone jack this year so that's kind of a disappointment for some
people other people won't mind now as far as a quick size comparison well last
year this is the s10 II so this gives you an idea this phone is definitely
bigger than the s10 II it's actually feels a little bit thinner but I'm not
sure if that's accurate but the camera bump makes it thicker so the actual
frame feels a little thinner then to compare it with the s10 all are the s10
plus from last year it gives you an idea so it's a little bit smaller it's in
between the s10 II and the s10 plus and then finally to compare it with the 5g
ultra version this has a case on it but this gives you an idea of the size
difference so let me remove the case and here is the ultra next to the s 20 and
so the s 20 plus would be in in-between this size so there's definitely a
massive size difference and there's actually a couple advantages to the s 20
over the s 20 ultra so let's go over the specs and then we'll turn it on and set
it up now internally we have a qualcomm snapdragon 865 with an Adreno 650 GPU
this comes with 12 gigabytes of RAM and then allows for a microSD up to 110
Buyten it also supports Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 along with 5g sub 6 but
currently there's no millimeter wave however Samsung's website does say
millimeter waves so I'm not sure if it supports it but at launch it currently
doesn't it's also got Gorilla Glass 6 front and back it has a dynamic AMOLED
6.2 inch display 3200 by 1440 pixels at 563 pixels per inch with a 22-9 ratio
it also supports 120 Hertz and HDR 10 plus and that is the same pixel
resolution that you get with the ultra as well just in a smaller phone you have
the under the screen fingerprint sensor will set up a little bit later and then
when it comes to the cameras this is a little bit interesting when I was going
over the specs now the forward-facing camera is 10 megapixels and still
supports dual pixel autofocus unlike the ultra it also supports 4k video on the
back we have three cameras we have a 12 megapixel ultra wide with an F 2.2
aperture then we have a 12 megapixel wide F 1.8 that still has dual pixel
autofocus and then we have a 64 megapixel telephoto F 2.0 they do
support 8k video at 24 frames per second or 4k 60 you also have a depth vision
camera now the phone comes with Android 10 with one UI - and then the battery is
a very large 4000 milliamp hour battery it supports fast wireless charging 25
watt fast charging and then it's ip68 certified for 1.5 meters for 30 minutes
dust and water resistance now let's go ahead and turn the phone on so we'll
hold down the power button and there is a small very thin screen protector
pre-installed so that's really nice it's not super protective but it will protect
from major scratches and things like that so let's wait for this to boot up
here and then we'll get it set up so we can take a look at the overall UI in the
camera now you can turn off the voice assistance if you want to just tap the
little speaker in the upper right and then we can accept the terms we don't
have to select the optional ones and then we'll choose our Wi-Fi network now
one really nice feature that I noticed on the new phones this year is that the
MAC address is randomized and what that means is the actual hardware address the
physical Hardware address that's assigned to every individual device
around the world has a MAC address but this one's randomized so it makes it
much more difficult to actually track if you wanted to try and figure out where
it was now we'll check for updates now along with the s20 you get a bunch of
credits if you pre-ordered it so you could get the galaxy buds plus or you
could get a case or you could get the watch and so I picked the watch with
this one so I may do a separate video on that now we can copy our apps and data
and I'm not going to copy this time maybe I'll do it a little bit later and
I'm going to skip signing into everything just so we can get to the
home screen like I said but I can set this up a little bit later so we'll just
accept that and now we'll set up our fingerprint so you can use face
recognition but it's less secure on this phone since it's only 2d and not 3d so
let's go ahead and create a pin and that's never a good pin 1 2 3 4 I'll
make it more secure a little bit later and then it says adding finishing
touches then we can sign into our Samsung account again like I said I'll
skip this this time and come back later now we'll go ahead and set up the
fingerprint sensor and this year it seems to be a little bit better than
last year although it just depends on the phone but you actually have to press
pretty hard this year when you're actually putting your finger down to get
this to work properly but I definitely find this fingerprint sensor to be
better than last year's fingerprint sensor I had a lot of issues setting up
the s10 plus and I had issues all year long with it and this one so far with
the ultra anyway I haven't had any issues so it seems to be a lot better
now we're at the home screen and I actually had to set up the fingerprint
sensor after I got to the home screen because it didn't bring me to that step
or maybe I didn't hit the right button but either way it's set up now and you
can see this is the home screen with the pre-installed apps and so we have Google
Apps pre-installed we have some Microsoft apps pre-installed and then in
here we have Facebook and I showed this on the other videos you cannot uninstall
it but you can disable it and here's your typical Samsung Apps and things
like that so this is everything that's pre-installed I didn't install any of
these apps and that's ok I think a lot of these apps are very useful of course
you can delete most of them now as far as the camera this should be pretty
interesting because this has dual pixel autofocus like I said unlike the ultra
this year you get dual pixel autofocus which is very accurate usually and works
pretty well let's hit allow and it works pretty well
compared to probably the ultra phone since that had some issues and Samsung's
promising a software update to fix it so in the camera we can do
you're wide here we can zoom in and we can zoom in to 30x and so that's a
slightly zoomed photo but not a lot and it's actually pretty sharp so let's take
a look at the options that we have so we'll go into video so here's the
options that we have you have the scene optimizer so it'll
take a photo based off what it thinks is best you can turn that on or off and
then you have your rear video up to 8 K which is really impressive and then
right here we'll set it up to 4k 64 default and then the front-facing camera
again 4k 64 default then we'll go back here and let's spin the camera around
and you can see it's locked on to my face so let's go to video and now I'm
recording with the s 25 G so hopefully this camera is really good it seems to
be locked on my face pretty well and here's what the audio sounds like as
well and so in general the cameras on the s20 are great cameras let's go ahead
and take a look at one more thing the actual display settings now in display
here we have motion smoothness and we can turn it up to 120 Hertz now you can
only use 120 Hertz or high resolution so 120 Hertz at 1080p or or close to 1080p
2400 by 1080 if you want to switch from 1080 to wqhd plus you have to turn off
the motion smoothing so you lose that feature so you either get higher
resolution or faster refresh rates so see we can't go to the high refresh rate
on the higher resolution we have to first go back to full HD plus then go to
motion smoothness go back to high refresh rate hit apply and now we have
super smooth refresh rates so you'll see it's just buttery smooth scrolling
through here and hopefully you can see that with the 60 frames per second video
now this phone is packed with options and may be a good fit for a lot of
people that want a little bit smaller Samsung phone the display is nice it
doesn't curve all the way over the edge this year so you'll have less false
presses on the display and in general this just looks like a really nice phone
now I'm sure you'll be able to find it on discounts a little bit later on so
you may want to wait a little bit if you're looking for that
but in general it feels good in the hand it is a little bit small to me but I
have huge hands so this may be great for people that want a little bit smaller
phone with all the top-of-the-line specs now if you have an SS 10 plus or
something along those lines I'm not sure that I would upgrade from an S 10 plus
to an S 20 RS 20 plus I don't know that it's worth in this year but at least
this one has dual pixel autofocus if the camera is your main focus but let me
know what you think about that in the comments below if you'd like to hear
anything more about this particular phone let me know in the comments below
specifically if you haven't seen it anywhere else
now if you'd like to get your hands on this Samsung wallpaper there are some
others in here as well that are really nice and I'll link to these in the
description below so you can get your hands on these if you'd like to but let
me know your thoughts about the s20 as S20+ and S20 Ultra in the comments below
